should go away from GEM ?
probably we should really remove all the markEX-objects that are not referred too by the help/example-patches (and as time permits, rewrite them, so that they don't need markEX)
yes, thats what I meant. They are not gem specific, therefore they do not really fit. Don't know how many people use them. I think some people complained that they have to load Gem in order to use these externals. Putting them in CVS together with the externals we could avoid this.
Yep. What about producing a template for the help-* patches (we have to rename them for pd-0.37 too, right ?)
i don't fully understand this.
Well, we design a help-template, more or less defining how help patches should look like, and volunteers can help us documenting the single objects using that template. (See attachment for a proposal describing circle)
and ask gem users to help
with the documentation effort.
yes, this would probably result in better help-patches (because they might show real needs)
I think it would be nice if the help patches have a minimal functionality too, so the user can see the effect directly.
so, without a [gemwin] but with a [gemhead] ?
I would say with gemwin too. Doesn't hurt, does it ?
